The city exhales After the lights decide to stay I don’t need louder answers I learned to hear what waits Between the lines we never crossed And words we didn’t say I move with measured footsteps No rush, no second guess Some nights don’t ask for fireworks They ask for less Something settles in Not heavy Just real I stopped chasing the moment And it found me instead Neon stays quiet When the truth comes through No need to run the silence It already moves Neon stays quiet No promise, no disguise Just the hum of staying present Under borrowed light I don’t rewrite the past I let it dim its glow Some things don’t need resolution To let you go I trust the rhythm underneath The calm that doesn’t shout Not every fire has to burn To keep you warm Let it stay Let it fade Neon stays quiet When i stop pretending That every beat must prove What it’s defending If meaning lives in motion Then this pace is mine I don’t need to outrun the night To know i’m alive Neon stays quiet And i finally see The beauty isn’t in the noise It’s how it lets me be Neon stays quiet No end in sight Just a steady breath Under endless light The night doesn’t answer It listens
